Generalised Scabies (Scabies Norwegica)

Generalised scabies (Scabies norwegica). If an elderly person with no earlier history of skin disease develops papules and starts itching all over, examine whether the cause is scabies. In immunocompromised persons, scabies may spread all over the body, also in the head.
